Fallen

By: Jessica Flores

Quiver with fear
Alone in your own abyss.
Despite the light I shine upon you,
You deflect my guide with your insecurity.

Recognize you've fallen into your own shadow.
Your darkness.
Your passion-filled chaotic whirlwind.
Recognize it.

Nevermind your shallow past.
What good will it do?
Lurking there only takes you deeper.
Don't be so naive.

Recognize you've fallen into yourself.
Your moonless night.
Your dystopian dream.
Recognize it.

Keep your ill-lit torch burning,
No matter who or what comes your way.
This endless hall deceives you,
A door remains unlocked.

Recognize I've fallen into you.
Your lost battle.
Your scarred soul--your love.
Recognize it.
